Born to Learn: the Inspiration, Progress, and Future of Evolved Plastic Artificial Neural Networks (2017, background): “Other areas of cognition such as the capabilities to make predictions (Hawkins and Blakeslee, 2007), establish associations (Rescorla, 2014) and regulate behaviors (Carver and Scheier, 2012) are also based on learning from experience but have seen a slower progress in computational methods.”
Ego Depletion and Self-Control Failure: An Energy Model of the Self's Executive Function (2002, background): “This can be regarded as the ``operate’’ phase of the feedback-loop model articulated by Carver and Scheier (1981, 1998).”
The benefits of a long-lens approach to leader development: Understanding the seeds of leadership (2011, background): “…the self-management activities of goal setting, cognitive strategies of planning or rehearsing, or other activities to attain the goal, and monitoring of goal attainment, that are all important to motivation and leadership behavior and development (e.g., Carver & Scheier, 1981; Manz, 1986).”
On implicit–explicit consistency: the moderating role of individual differences in awareness and adjustment (2005, background): “Both the traditional self-knowledge account (Carver & Scheier, 1981) and the more recent self-relevance account (Hull et al., 2002) would predict that, all other things being equal, the integration of one’s implicit attitude into the explicit one should be higher for highly self-conscious persons.”
A preliminary investigation of the relationships between employee motivation/vision, service learning, and perceived service quality (2001, background): “Control theory (Carver and Scheier, 1981), goal-setting theory (Locke and Latham, 1990), and social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1986) all agree that feedback regulates action by stimulating a reaction to a feedback-standard discrepancy.”
Leadership Processes and Follower Self-identity (2003, background): “These psychological processes include, but are not limited to, affective reactions (Higgins, 1989; Linville, 1987), motivation (Carver & Scheier, 1981; Kendzierski & Whitaker, 1997), self-regulation (Carver & Scheier, 1998; Higgins, 1996), the development of interpersonal relationships (Baldwin &…”
Toward a Contingency Model of Leadership and Psychological Empowerment: When Should Self-Leadership Be Encouraged? (2005, unknown): “Selfleadership has deep roots in several related theories of self-influence including selfregulation (Kanfer, 1970; Carver & Scheier, 1981), self-control (Cautela, 1969; Mahoney & Arnkoff, 1978, 1979; Thoresen & Mahoney, 1974), self-management (Andrasik & Heimberg, 1982; Luthans & Davis, 1979; Manz…”
Body Objectification and Depression in Adolescents: The Role of Gender, Shame, and Rumination (2007, background): “According to theories of self-focus, attention to self interacts with other cognitive processes and contextual factors to heighten negative affect (e.g., Carver & Scheier, 1981; Duval & Wicklund, 1972).”
Self-Regulation of Creativity at Work: The Role of Feedback-Seeking Behavior in Creative Performance (2011, background): “…their creative performance is consistent with self-regulation theory’s emphasis on individuals’ ability to guide their own goal-directed activities and performance by setting their own standards and monitoring their progress toward these standards (Carver & Scheier, 1981; Vohs & Baumeister, 2004).”
Preferred Difficulty and Subjective Probability in Different Action Phases (2001, background): “According to Carver and Scheier (1981, 1982) and Scheier and Carver (1988), expectancies of success are important for the decision whether to persist in a task or to disengage from it. People persist in tasks even in the face of obstacles as long as there is a good”
Promoting self-regulation through school-based martial arts training (2004, background): “According to theorists (e.g., Carver & Scheier, 1981), there are two types of self-regulation failure: underregulation and misregulation.”
Acute stressors and cortisol responses: a theoretical integration and synthesis of laboratory research. (2004, background): “The presence and/or evaluation of others can lead to social comparisons (e.g., Swallow & Kuiper, 1988; Taylor, Neter, & Wayment, 1995) or self-awareness (Carver & Scheier, 1981; Pyszczynski & Greenberg, 1987), which can also initiate negative self-evaluative processes.”
